R1 and R2 are ASBRs in the same area, each with an equal cost external path to the same
external network prefix. R1 advertises an external route into OSPF with a Type 1 metric. R2
advertises an external route into OSPF with a Type 2 metric.
Which route would be preferred?
A.
R1’s route is preferred because Type 1 metrics take into account the external cost only.
B.
R1’s route is preferred because Type 1 metrics take into account the internal and external cost.
C.
R2’s route is preferred because Type 2 metrics take into account the internal and external cost.
D.
R2’s route is preferred because Type 2 metrics take into account the external cost only.
i think B
E1 > E2 > N1 > N2
Type 1 is preferred, but not because it takes into account the internal and external costs, but because it is always preferred over Type 2.
Option B is the correct, Type 1 is preferred over type 2 .The statement “type 1 metrics take into account the internal and external cost.” is also true. Check the following link for further reference:

B is correct, but that is a terribly worded question. its preferred b/c its a type 1. PERIOD. saying its preferred b/c its a type 1 that takes both metrics into account is very misleading.
